Watch: Shaun Tait’s hilarious response after Pakistan’s defeat to England leaves the reporters in splits

Pakistan bowlers were thrashed badly by England in the sixth game of the seven-match T20I series in Lahore. Defending 170, the Men In Green had no answer to England’s immense power-hitting. After the game, the home team sent bowling coach Shaun Tait to face the heat of the media professionals. In a video uploaded by Pakistan Cricket Board on Twitter, the former Aussie pacer quipped a cheeky comment before the post-match presser.

“So when we lose badly they send me. They send me when we get beaten badly,” Tait quipped before the start of the press conference in Lahore. After this, he was asked about his side’s death bowling concern. In reply, the 39-year-old replied, “I think we won the last game because we bowled a good death over, the last game. We bowled a good death over, you remember?”. For the unversed, Tait was talking about Aamer Jamal who defended 15 runs in the fifth game.

Talking about the game, the Babar Azam-led side entered the game after registering two back-to-back wins and led by 3-2. The Three Lions, on the other hand, needed to win to keep the series alive. They did it in fashion as they thrashed the home side badly. Bowling first, the Moeen Ali-led side restricted the opposition to 169/6. The Men In Red could have restricted Pakistan to a lower total if not for skipper Babar Azam (87*) and Iftikhar Ahmed (31).

In reply, the England batters such as Phil Salt (88*), Alex Hales (27), Dawid Malan (26), and Ben Duckett (26) didn’t give an inch to their opposition. Thanks to their efforts, the team chased down the target in just 14.3 overs. One can only wonder what could have happened if England batted first and played like this. Meanwhile, the series is now leveled 3-3 and the decider will be played on October 2. After this, both teams will fulfill their bilateral commitments before heading for the 20-20 World Cup 2022 in Australia, starting on October 16.
